crashing during export

[Matt Jones]

It says “DV/DVCPRO – NTSC”

Which makes me think it’s the same thing.

In the codec settings you can setthe compression type for aquire and render to 3 settings. They are: “DV”, “DVCPro” and “DVCPro50”. Which makes me think DV and DVCPro (25?) are different.

So which is it?

As far as M100HD goes, are they they same or should you use different render settings for each?

DV and DVCPro are identical in NTSC land, but different in PAL (different color encoding).

Thanks for clearing that up.

I’m moving 36 GB of media now. Keeping my fingers crossed.

[Matt Jones]

Nope. same thing. crashola.

I have the “problem report” Can we work it out from there?

[Jim Jorstad]

We are experiencing a similar thing. We are exporting the timeline to a DVD recoder. We start the timeline and the recorder. About 6-8 minutes into the program, the Media 100 13.01 stops and so does the recorder. The program goes into never never land with the spinning multi-colored spectrum circle. This happens everytime and we need to export the program for a client to review in a presentation room. Can immediate help would be most helpful. The program is 20 minutes long so we can’t keep waiting to see if everything turns out. Thanks!

Send that report along to support at media 100 dot com. YOo can simply copy and paste info in the body of the email. Put my name, Wick, in the subject field so it catches my attention.

This just isn’t really the same thing. You’re playing out to tape, not exporting. It still shouldn’t crash… but it’s not the same thing.

I see that you also started a new thread so I’ll take it up from there.

Thanks Wick, I’ll send the report. I’d love to know what happened. I still don’t know why my media changed from nice interlaced DV to steppy dark footage which crashed while exporting.

Here’s what I did:

Once I moved the media to a new drive and got the same old crash, I asked my client to bring her drive in with the original media files on it.

I opened the PGM in a new project and re rendered all of the titles and transitions. I then closed the project and switched out the suspected corrupted files with new copies.

They had the exact same name, same size, same file (except not corrupt) I re-opened the project and all of the clips from those media files were offline. Not sure why they wouldn’t relink.

I imported the new copies of the old media and went through and replaced each cut one by one, using the timecode values to make sure I got the edits the same.

I’m extremely happy to report that I was able to export all files as ref files and make my compressions on time.

What can we all learn from this? Beats me. I thought I did everything right from the start. DV footage in, DV codecs rendered, export ref files…
